updating now

[jrh_cardinal]

standings updated, 7 people 3-0 (including ME), 2 games still active

[jrh_cardinal]

ok, somehow vragus ended up in the tourney twice (however you do that thing with the face hitting the wall)
he specifically requested the USA West group the second time, the first time he just said "in", so vragus is out of the Rockies group, the reserve, Night Strike, is in. Night Strike inherits vragus's 1-2 record.

[jrh_cardinal]

Okay, all standings have been update, and second round games have been sent. Assuming he still wants to play in the tourney, NS is replacing vragus in the USA Rockies group. There is now only one first round game remaining.

I will seed you, but if there are any ties they will be broken randomly unless it is a tie for the final playoff spot(s) in which case there will be a play-in game.

Also, to clarify this before I finish my last couple of games, because I may be one of the players in this position, everyone will play 1 play-in game maximum. This means that if there are 3 people fighting for 1 spot, 2 of the players will play each other, the other one will play the next highest seeded player, even though that player has a better record.

All randomizing will be done using random.org

meatcat forfeited two games this rd., all other games have been joined, I'll update standings at some point this weekend, hopefully I'll be able to start the playoffs.

standings updated

remember there are 5 Wild Card Spots minimum. It's looking like at least 5 players are going to get to 6-3 and not win their division, but it is not certain. In the case of a tie for the last spot(s) or a tie between division leaders, I will use random.org to decide who gets what seed, but everyone tied for the last spot will get in. Any ties for the lead within a division, however, will be broken by head to head record. People played an odd number of games against each other, so this will always work in a tie between 2 people. If there is a tie between 3 people, and their head to head records are the same, the tie will be broken using random.org. The division leaders will also be seeded based on record, then through random.org. The bracket will play like a normal 16 man bracket after any play-in games have been played. There will be no reseeding between rounds.

On a personal side, I'm sorry I didn't make this clearer from the beginning. This is the first tourney I've run with inter-division record comparison, and I honestly did not anticipate such a large number of ties, which was stupid because of the small number of games, but sorry.

[DresdenSooner]

No worries. Thanks for running the tournament. Looking forward to the next round.
